FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat for my Soddy-Daisy home?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, automatically adjust temperatures, and let you control settings from anywhere using a phone or voice assistant. In Soddy-Daisy’s mixed-season climate, this can cut heating and cooling run-times, saving 10–20 % on energy bills, while improving comfort, humidity control, and system longevity.
Will a smart thermostat work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most smart thermostats are compatible with conventional single-stage furnaces and air conditioners, multi-stage equipment, heat pumps, and even dual-fuel systems. During our free assessment we verify wiring (including the C-wire), voltage, and control board compatibility to ensure seamless operation before installation.
How much money can I realistically save after the upgrade?
Savings vary with usage patterns, insulation, and utility rates, but EPA studies show 8–15 % off cooling costs and 10–12 % off heating. In the Chattanooga area, that translates to roughly $120–$250 per year for an average 2,000-sq-ft home—meaning the thermostat often pays for itself within two heating/cooling seasons.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Tennessee for smart thermostats?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) partners such as EPB and Sequachee Valley EC periodically offer $50–$100 bill credits for qualifying ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats. Federal tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act may also provide up to 30 % of the device cost (capped at $150) when installed in an existing home.
What is involved in the professional installation process and how long does it take?
A typical install takes 60–90 minutes. Our technician verifies system compatibility, powers down the HVAC, maps and labels existing wires, mounts the new thermostat, connects the C-wire or adds an adapter if needed, powers up the system, connects the unit to your Wi-Fi, completes firmware updates, and walks you through the mobile app, scheduling, and energy-saving features.
Can I program schedules and control the thermostat remotely?
Absolutely. Using the manufacturer’s free iOS/Android app, you can set daily and weekly schedules, enable geofencing so the system adjusts automatically when you leave or return, receive maintenance alerts, see usage reports, and integrate with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit for hands-free voice control—even if you are out of town.
